I guess my more proper side has to ask myself if such comparisons should've been made. Hmm, let me think for a mom-
Oh Hell Yeah!
Does it all look familiar, my overly liberal readers? That's because it is and payback's a real bitch. You all set that tone for us.
Anyhow, I also liked Ron Capshaw's less-impassioned thoughts on the matter over at PJ Media:
The Obama administration has greeted the response to president’s threat of an executive order to bypass Congress and implement gun control measures as reminiscent of dictators, as hysteria.Fair play is fair play, folks—especially, when history supports comparing such actions to such monsters.
But such comparisons are not easy to dismiss. Lenin stated “One man with a gun can control 100 without one.” Stalin, his successor declared, “If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.” When the Kulaks refused, Stalin instituted his own “executive order,” and they were helpless as the state mowed them down.
But this disarming of the population was not exclusive to the Russians. Mao Tze Tung declared “All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.”
